Reliability and validity in qualitative studies
Keywords:
Research, scientific research, action research, educational researchAbstract
The results obtained from this research through qualitative studies have often been questioned. Different types of research began at different ontological and epistemological suppositions, therefore the way to acquire valid and reliable findings follow different criterion. In this work we present different forms of qualitative research to ensure validity and reliability of the findings, some of this forms are related to the researcher, others are related to the collecting of data and some others to the analysis of the information.
